A grey Audi and a black Vauxhall Astra were involved in the crash that took place near the junction of Lilly Grove, Walton , at around 9.55pm, last night.

Police diverted traffic until the cars were cleared from the scene, just by Carphone Warehouse. The road was cleared by 10.35pm, police confirmed.

The extent of injuries of those involved is not yet known.

Meanwhile traffic was flowing as usual on roads across the region on Monday morning.

But traffic light failings are causing minor problems on A561 Speke Boulevard between Western Avenue and Woodend Avenue and in Islington faulty lights on Shaw Street are also causing slight disruption to traffic.
